Duh, Think I got stung by a bunch of this Coolsearch stuff. Ran Spybot and Adware and they found a lot of stuff to delete.

Think I see some of it here. What to get rid of?

You have the CoolWebSearch trojan. Download CWShredder. Unzip it. Close all windows, including browser. Launch CWShredder and click the Fix button (not Scan). Let it do it's thing.

Reboot your computer

Run a post a new HJT scan. There will be more cleanup.

CWShredder has an updated version released today. Open shredder and click the update button. Do the update and run it again. Be very sure to click the Fix button and NOT the Scan Only button.

Restart and run and post a new HJT log.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Yeah, you are correct... Things are definitely busy. There is a new CWS variant out and about and it's wrecking havoc. But back to your log.

These objects

F1 - win.ini: load=C:\IBLOCAL\BIN\ptsnoop.exe;C:\WINDOWS\ptsnoop.exe;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ptsnoop.exe;C:\PROGRAM FILES\DEFRAG\DISKEEPERLITE\ptsnoop.exe;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ptsnoop.exe
F1 - win.ini: run=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SERVICES\WMPLAYER.EXE

are part of your Win.ini list and autoload at startup. If you don't want them to autoload (uses resources), just include them in the list of objects to fix with HJT below

Run a new HJT scan and put a check beside the following objects in the list.

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.coolsearch.biz
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page_bak = http://www.coolsearch.biz

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Urtt] C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\ntea.exe

Close all application windows except HJT. Close all browser windows, including this one. Click the Fix Checked button.

Restart your computer in Safe mode.

How to start your computer in Safe mode

Open Windows Explorer, then go to View > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure Show all files is ticked and uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types. Click Like Current Folder then click Apply then OK

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to and delete the following folder identified in bold type:

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\ntea.exe

Reboot back to Normal Mode and post another HJT log.

Yep... Lookin good. :up:

Now here some things you can do to help keep your computer clean.

I advise the following to prevent reinfection:

I strongly recommend you have a firewall. There are a couple of good free ones available for downloading. ZoneAlarm Here, and Sygate Here.

You already have Spybot installed. It has an Immunize feature which will stop a lot of nasties from being installed on your computer. To activate it, open Spybot and click the Immunize icon in the left pane. Now click the Immunize button in the right pane.

Next, download SpyWareBlaster Here. Install it and open the program. Click the Updates button and download the latest updates. While on the "Status" page, Now click the "Enable All Protection" link near the bottom of the window. This program will now be running in the background and adding to the protection provided by Spybot's Immunize feature for ActiveX nasties.

Next, download IE-SPYAD Here. Follow the installation instructions on the site. This little item will install a TON of URL's in IE's Restricted sites list, thereby preventing your computer from accessing known bad sites from which nasties can be installed.

Also, be very sure you have installed all the latest Critical Updates from the Windows Update site.
